Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 501 - 301: The Secret! The Method of Survival from the Destruction of the Universe_2

Chapter 501: Chapter 301: The Secret! The Method of Survival from the Destruction of the Universe_2

"So by comparing our own special abilities, we also have a great possibility of mastering the rules," Ye Feng said.

Hearing this, the faces of the people around him showed even more hesitation.

At that moment, Chen Dalong also spoke up, "Actually, you don’t need to bring out all your points. I’ve looked over them, and most of the ordinary cultivation techniques are worth only 20 to 30 points each."

"Everyone can exchange for two cultivation techniques and use the remaining points to exchange for chances to comprehend the Rule Origin. What do you think?"

"Great! This proposal isn’t bad at all."

"I agree as well. If we can comprehend it four or five more times, our chances of making a breakthrough will be significantly higher."

Soon, everyone nodded one after another, agreeing to the proposal.

Seeing this, Bai Junheng smiled and reminded them to consult with each other before exchanging, to ensure that they don’t accidentally exchange for the same cultivation techniques.

Of course, if there were duplicates, then once submitted, the reward would be split between the two people equally.

By now, the Forbidden Area Creatures and the beasts from Dragon Hall had almost all entered the transmission portal. Not daring to delay, they quickly rushed towards the portal.

Whoosh!

As they stepped into the portal, the four immediately felt the world spinning around them, and a terrifying spatial pressure surged towards them.

The rings of light around their bodies suddenly shone brightly, shielding them from the majority of the pressure.

But the bit that seeped through still made them feel as if their bones and flesh were being squeezed by an immense force, leaving them almost breathless.

And this time, the transportation lasted an unusually long time. Gradually, everyone except Chen Dalong began to bleed from their orifices.

Finally, after what felt like a minute, the transportation stopped, and Bai Junheng and the others nearly passed out. Their internal organs had sustained considerable damage.

But at that moment, a green light flashed over their bodies, and all the injuries instantly healed.

Only then did they all take a deep breath and look around. What they saw made everyone’s heart thump.

They were standing on a gigantic elliptical platform.

The material this platform was made of was unknown; it appeared metallic but felt like jade to the touch.

The platform was covered in dense formations that formed a huge light barrier, encapsulating everyone on it.

Beyond it was the boundless void. Most importantly, there were countless spatial fissures within this space and void storms continually sweeping towards the platform.

If they hadn’t had the protection of the platform, Bai Junheng and the others had no doubt that they would not have survived for more than ten seconds.

It was then that they realized why the latter part of Rule Mountain required dealing with spatial fissures—it was preparation for the final test!

Thinking about this, including Chen Dalong, everyone felt a tingle on their scalp because the spatial fissures here outnumbered those on Rule Mountain.

As for the large-scale void storms, although they weren’t as powerful as the spatial fissures, there was no way for them to even attempt to dodge.

Even Ye Feng, observing the surrounding environment, felt a sense of alarm.

Especially when he cast his gaze toward the distance, where space appeared to overlap, yet seemed to be a void, it gave off a feeling of time-space disarray.

That area of space was vast; no matter whether he looked up, down, left, or right, he couldn’t see its end. It just lay there, like a colossal wall of space.

More importantly, he caught sight of the Eighth Order Strongmen from the corner of his eye, and even in their eyes, there was a deep color of horror.

Of course, what concerned him even more were the strongmen from beyond their domain.

Their gazes were glued to the distorted space in the distance without the slightest blink, their expressions shifting between joy, confusion, and distress, akin to the rapid changing of faces in a performance.

These external beings must know something, and certainly, it was something momentous.

This only intensified the vigilance in Ye Feng’s heart.

And at that moment, suddenly, the center of the platform burst into light, which gradually outlined a creature of unknown name, elliptic in shape, with a pair of wings on its back.

"Welcome, fortunate little ones, to the final assessment. I am your examiner," it said.

"You may address me as Lord Gu Ao Duo," Gu Ao Duo surveyed the crowd and a hint of a smile appeared when its gaze fell on Ye Feng.

Everyone’s attention now uniformly shifted toward Gu Ao Duo.

"Lord Gu Ao Duo, may I ask what the final assessment entails?" Chen Dalong, quick to grasp the situation, respectfully inquired immediately.

Gu Ao Duo inwardly nodded in approval but maintained an impassive demeanor on his face. Clearing his throat, he said, "See the distorted space ahead? Do you know what that is?"

Chen Dalong looked around the circle, mainly glancing at the Dragon King and the various emissaries; seeing that none of them intended to speak, he promptly responded, "I do not know. Please enlighten us, Lord Gu Ao Duo."

Gu Ao Duo said, "That is the Universe Boundary Wall! It is also the only place into which one can take shelter to survive when this Cosmic Era is destroyed."

"What! That really is the Universe Boundary Wall," exclaimed Kana Dal, an Eighth Order Angelic Power, his face full of surprise.

He was not alone; the other Eighth Order Strongmen also displayed looks of astonishment.

As for the external beings, it was as if a weight had been lifted from their hearts, their expressions returning to calm.

However, within the Forbidden Area, the majority of the Seventh Order Strongmen, much like Ye Feng and his peers, showed mostly bewildered and uncomprehending looks on their faces, with shock being the predominant expression, due to the information revealed in Gu Ao Duo’s words.

As a matter of fact, Ye Feng himself was profoundly shaken at this time; the Universe Boundary Wall was secondary, but what did the other party mean by the destruction of a Cosmic Era?

Gu Ao Duo turned to Kana Dal, who had spoken, and then glanced over at those external beings, "It seems you are rather well informed. But then again, each era leaves behind some remnants, so it’s normal that you have acquired some information."

It was then, coming back to his senses after the shock, Chen Dalong stuttered, "Lord Gu Ao Duo, what do you mean by the destruction of the Cosmic Era?"

Gu Ao Duo looked at Chen Dalong and the humans beside him, taking pleasure in the surprise on their faces, so he did not mind explaining.

"You can understand it as if the universe too has a lifespan. When it reaches its end, it signifies the conclusion of this Cosmic Era, and everything will reboot."

"The will of the universe will eradicate all beings, revert everything to chaos, then anew it will split the heavens and sunder the earth, and thus a new era will be born."

"For the universe, this is merely a part of its cyclical rhythm, but for all beings, it is a cataclysm," Gu Ao Duo explained to everyone.

All humans, including Ye Feng, were deeply shaken by this news; it was an ominous revelation for everyone.

"Lord Gu Ao Duo, when will this cosmic calamity arrive?" This time, the one who spoke up was Wu Yuqin; with her delicate thoughts, she immediately asked the critical question.

The others also came to their senses, looking toward Gu Ao Duo with a hint of hope in their eyes.

They hoped that the time left would be long, ideally, millions of years away.

"I do not know," Gu Ao Duo shook his head, then explained, "But the emergence of the Land of Revival, which is the birth of your planet, signifies that the era is nearing its end."

"As for when the universe will restart, it mainly depends on the number of Strongmen within it, I refer to those above the Seventh Order."

"The rules that you comprehend are actually parts of the universe’s Rule Origin. Especially when you reach the Eighth Order and integrate those rules into yourself, it’s as if you are co-opting the Rule Origin for your own use."

"When the universal will senses that the Rule Origin has diminished to a certain extent, it will naturally erase all life forms and reclaim the Rule Origin to restart, fostering the beings of the next era."
